I hope you enjoyed the donation that I made to your film Dear John on Saturday. I want you to know that I have no intention of putting any more of my funds towards your films. I simply do not think that it is right for me to pay you money to make me cry. And to be honest, walking out of a movie with red eyes, a drippy nose, and a soggy tear stained tee shirt simply isn't fun. If you could put some kind of warning on your films along with the rating that states whether or not your characters will have a happy ending, and exactly how many tissues a normal person will need while watching your film, then maybe I will reconsider.
Thank you to my wonderful friends who did not warn me to take enough kleenex to the theater! Come on guys, you know I cry at everything - especially when I see guys crying. However, in honor of this weekends tear jerker, I decided to make a list of best and worst all time cry fest films. Feel free to add your favorites :) In no particular order:
Beaches - classic chick flick, at least 2 tissues
Steel Magnolias - laughter through tears is the best!
My Sister's Keeper - only watch with close friends who you don't mind seeing you sob hysterically
The Notebook - Who doesn't love James Gardner?
Radio Flyer - painful to watch but a good story
Titanic - Not a fan of Leo or James Cameron, but it has to be on the list
City of Angels and Message in a Bottle - my two least favorite chick flicks. If you are going to make us cry, at least give us a happy ending. Will never watch these again!

Sad or embarrassed to say I can't watch ET....
I read Sister's keeper and barely survived and so I haven't watched the movie yet. I also bawled my eyes out through the Notebook and survived the movie.
Steel Magnolias is an all time favorite. My whole view of it changed though after having Nadia... I "get" the pain of Sally's character much more now.
Haven't seen Radio Flyer.
I don't really have anything to add to the list, but I do start crying on cue hearing the Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's list soundtracks.
